Teaching and helping!

November 4, 2013

So this week was good. P-day we played B-ball and on Tuesday I was able to go over to Allatona on exchange with Elder Buckway. It was cool serving with him again for another day. We visited a guy named Victor who was a referral from the sister missionaries in the Allatona ward. He was crazy and he had a cat that was twice as fat as it should be it also was shaved and looked freaky. We also visited a less active Brother Units. He told us his life story about how he went to jail and then a bishop bailed him out for a 1000 dollars and invited him to Thanksgiving.

The Connells are members they just are trying to overcome smoking and some Word of Wisdom stuff which is why we go over there. We committed them cut down a lot on cigarettes. The husband is really into it. The wife is a little more scared about giving them up but she is trying. We send them a scripture every night in text to help them.

On Wednesday we went and taught the Deacons about Preach my Gospel. It is hard getting a bunch of kids to focus.

So one day we were walking by the road and the cars were in stop and go traffic. One of the cars turned there music way up as we walked past and started singing and doing a little dance in there car as we walked which was a little odd.

We taught Connie with a team up on Wednesday. She made us Cookies and it went well. She isn't ready to commit to baptism yet, but she came to church again for the 4th week.

So the Woodstock Elders called us over to do service with them. We helped them move some stuff for a hoarder. The house was disgusting and it was hard to move stuff since you had to walk on trash and junk. It was worth the pictures of the inside of the house. She was talking about how animals had got in the house as well. She has been living on her porch for the last 7 months. She called again for help a couple days later.  I am all for helping my fellow man, but there comes a point where you just can't help them anymore. As we were walking back from service a member called us over and fed us lunch.

The Bishop fed us Breakfast on Saturday and is wanting to go out every Thursday with us and to feed us every couple weeks for Breakfast.
